It was like something
Out of a science-fiction movie
The resurrection of a man long ago forgotten
He was the son of some migrant old grump
Nothing but skin and bone
Rags and tatters and misbegotten
He had a funny look neither here nor there
He wore a plain white shirt and a well-worn slack
He said he had to go away
But he would return
And sure enough
He kept his word and he came back
He said he must put an end
To all the world's hatred
And he would put an end to all of its folly
And he did what he said
And he said what he did
And we stood back and said
Wow and by golly
He had a funny look neither here nor there
He he took a lot of heat and he took a lot of flack
He took our guns and he took our bombs
And he beat them
Beat them into plows
And we fought back
And we hunted him down
And we bludgeoned him
And it barely raised any eyebrows
He had a funny look neither here nor there
He he took a lot of shit
He took a lot of smack
